Four University of Nebraska Medical Center physicians with roles in the Global Center for Health Security released a free book about quarantine just before the coronavirus was discovered.

The book titled, “Nebraska Isolation and Quarantine Manual,” explores why, how and when to apply quarantine and isolation for conditions that warrant care in biocontainment or quarantine in an easy-to-use source. It also includes the history of quarantine and its legal and ethical considerations.

The book was written and edited from lessons learned at UNMC and others around the world during the West Africa Ebola virus outbreak. The book is aimed at medical, nursing and public health personnel.

The book is available through the University of Nebraska Press as well as Amazon’s Kindle platform.
